WEST VIRGINIA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A federal jury found former police officer Everett Maynard guilty of beating a suspect causing serious injuries, including a broken shoulder, officials announced Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"womanThe jury said Maynard was guilty of violating an arrestee’s civil rights by using force against him, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maynard, 44, was convicted by a jury in Charleston for using excessive force against an arrestee while Maynard was a police officer with the Logan, West Virginia, Police Department.<\/span><\/p>\n

The jury heard evidence over the course of two days that showed that Maynard assaulted the victim in the bathroom of the Logan Police Department before dragging him into an adjoining room, hauling him across the room, and ramming his head against a doorframe. <\/span><\/p>\n

The assault initially rendered the victim unconscious and left him with a broken shoulder, a broken nose and a cut to his head that required staples to close.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"brown\u201cThe Constitution and its Bill of Rights afford all people in our nation the right to be free from unlawful abuse by police officers,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department\u2019s Civil Rights Division. \u201cThe Department of Justice will not tolerate criminal misconduct by law enforcement officials and will hold accountable those who commit civil rights violations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEverett Maynard abused his authority as a police officer and betrayed the public\u2019s trust when he violated an arrestee\u2019s civil rights,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Will Thompson for the Southern District of West Virginia. \u201cWhile the overwhelming majority of law enforcement officers perform their duties with honor and professionalism, those who violate the rights of others will be held accountable.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding, “the prosecution of cases like this is important to my office, the citizens of West Virginia and the policing profession. I commend P.D. Clemens, the former Chief of the Logan Police Department who now serves as the Sheriff of Logan County, for quickly referring the matter to the West Virginia State Police and the FBI for (an) independent investigation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Maynard\u2019s sentencing has been set for March 17. He is facing up to 10 years in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n
